Agreed. Similar unequal prosecution appears to exist in the US. In the time that I've lived in the SF area there have been hundreds of pedestrians killed in SF by motorists and two killed by cyclists. The only prosecutions for vehicular manslaughter that I am aware of for motorists were when they were intoxicated or left the scene of the crash. But both cyclists were so charged despite staying at the scene and being sober.
